Ah sorry, I cant seem to edit very well on the phone app but in regards to the "nope".. 🤣🤣🤣! You are so right, once people have bought into something like that its really hard to just talk them out out of it. They have to want to see their own way out, which is why I tried to avoid answering her with specifics, but since…

Great links, thank you so much for your assist!

Thanks hun, glad to see you're still out here! :)

Because your question sounds sarcastic, seeing how he's a well know celebrity quack doctor, and everyone else had no problem. I apologize for being too unspecific for you. Yes, it's Joseph Mercola.

What that may be true, it's not really helpful. But thanks for your response anyway, have a good night.

I first put on extra weight because I got pregnant and thought I therefore had no limit how much i could eat, and I really like eating. Particularly, high calorie food and sweets. I never lost that pregnant belly as I aged. As I got older, being a reasonably short (5'3") female, past 40, and sedentary, my…

Thanks for that! Ive been doing MFP for almost two years and never figured that out! d'oh! I did it the long way, but the recipe tracker would be so much easier that way. never too late to learn :smiley:

That pretty much all I looked at, although I sometimes looked to see how the protein was doing, and bump it up. I couldn't care less when MFP tried to macro-shame me about sugar, fat or sodium. I tried to keep those out of view because they are irrelevant to me. Currently maintaining after a 82 pound loss and more healthy…

Thanks for the link, sorry never saw an alert that you tagged me. Looking at the chart on that page it makes more sense why I have been confused why two of the same type of products can have a different serving "size"- its mandated in grams, but for example a slice of bread will have different weights, so while one company…

Dont forget some folks out there still insist that "woo" is a cheer for something they like :unamused:

Now that's what I call #FakeNews :D

Im a fan of frozen pizza (only because its cheaper than Pizza Hut which I also love) and it does seem to be the trend to claim "5 servings" per box. If I get frozen pizza though, I do the thing where you figure out the whole container then divide by however much Im going to eat (half, hopefully!) but very few pizzas will…

I seem to recall making a complaint to a company, I no longer recall which, about the ludicrous serving sizes that weren't reality, and got some trash answer about how the government (USDA or FDA, forgot which they tried to claim) has set the serving size for certain foods so that's what they have to use, regardless of how…

I recommend before throwing every supplement and vitamin in the book (or out of it in some cases) at it, have a good checkup/physical, including a blood test for arthritis (RA). Mine started with unexplained foot pain in the morning, and morning stiffness is a classic symptom. You can get it much younger than I thought was…

Hey there! I have been missing the camaraderie of the groups (I left one I really liked because folks just couldnt help being political when it was part of the policy NOT to post anything political) :/ and happened to browse to this one, only to find I apparently already joined months ago! I know i have a poor memory, but…

Hey dont trust their where to buy locator, just check for yourself- I was out last night anyway (our anniversary today) <3 so I checked the walmart (which is almost 20 miles away) and they DO carry it!! (Was NOT on their locator.) :angry: I picked up the chocolate brownie and mint chocolate but havent had a chance to try…

I have wanted to try Enlightenment (isnt that what its called?) but nowhere around me caries it. Halotop was good like once but there's sort of a weird texture thing =/ Maybe Walmart will have that.... We had a second grocery store in town, and they had more expensive trendier stuff, but it went out of business…

why?

Someone's always gotta quote an extreme =/ He didnt say he was allergic though, he just said "he didnt eat it". Im fairly certain it wasnt a case of extreme allergies, it was someone who wanted money. Ive been hungry enough to eat what I didnt care for. I didnt hold signs at the road, but I did go to a food bank, and the…

I started thinking the same, better have an allergy! Maybe if it was a one-ingredient food, but when I read this to my husband he said, if he was hungry and couldnt eat cheese, he would just pull off the cheese and eat the bread & tomato sauce! Clearly these people have never actually been hungry, they just want cash for…

I don't go to a gym- I let my yard, my dog, (and sometimes my funky elliptical) be my "gym" and Im in my 50s :o (how'd that happen anyway?!) a Christian, and I dont like hearing pseudo-nutrition woo- been there done that, and its a crock. I eat what I like (including ice cream) it hasnt stopped me from losing over 70…

CICO isnt a "method" that can be outdated or not. Its simply a thermodynamics equation, or more plainly, its how biology works, in that if you take in more than you burn, you have more left, and if you take in less than you burn, you will have less left. No different than putting objects into a finite space. If you add…

Nothing wrong if you like it, but I would weigh whatever Im putting in as I did it. When I used some reddiwhip (generic usually - its a spray whipped cream) in my coffee or cocoa, I would have the cup zeroed on the scale and only add until i hit however many grams I wanted, I think the 15 calories are like 5 grams ? Dont…

I also vote for Subway- it can help me stay lower calorie but still get filled up (without the lure of the smell of yummy french fries that can be impossible for me to resist, so if I don't plan to make room for the insanely high calories, I stay out of places that serve them!) and Taco bell can have some good lower cal…

Im the same height and youre at my goal <3 Since there is no such thing as spot reducing, the only thing you can do is lose more weight and/or has been mentioned, weight train which makes muscles larger, and more defined when body fat % is lower. Nothing wrong with taking that body to the beach :smile:

I started losing just to look more pleasing to myself and to buy clothes I liked better than fat girl clothes. I am smaller now but having a hard time finding clothes since sizes are more complicated and falsely marked than the "plus" sizes were! :o But I did find more stamina (helped I use an elliptical now, not as…

As you can see, whatever works for a person with their lifestyle and personality, so you won't freak about it. There's no "wrong" way and no "right" way, except what works for you. If daily is a stress, do it less. If waiting too long messes you up, do it more. For me, I prefer daily- and I suggest anyone doing daily also…

Remember it's not the scale that's causing your weight loss. That would be your consistent calorie deficit. If you wish to continue at the same rate, keep doing the same things you were, or at least try to keep within reason (since you probably cant weigh your food, for the same reasons given for your bathroom scale). As…

No. The biggest reason for gaining weight is too many calories. I welcome sugar and fat in my life, mainly because your body requires glucose as well as fat to function. I have also lost 57 pounds (counting loss before starting MFP). I dont think a well established weight loss & fitness site is looking for newbies to be…

Probably not but I bet it tastes good :)
